Hop aboard our sturdy vessel for a one hour Wildlife Cruise, departing from Wellers Rock Wharf on the Otago Peninsula. You'll travel out through the Otago Harbour to the world's only mainland colony of royal albatross. Have your camera ready as these huge birds soar in from sea, flying past a historic lighthouse as they return to their hillside nests. The skipper will expertly maneuver the boat close to rocky outcrops for great views of the local fur seal population. A short way out to sea and you'll see other albatross and seabird species. Our cruises also frequently spot blue penguins, sea lions and occasionally dolphins! The crew will provide a full commentary during your cruise about the local history, scenery and wildlife spotted along the way. Don't be put off by cool & windy weather. These are often the best conditions for wildlife viewing. Especially when it comes to albatross, they love a brisk southerly wind. Binoculars and warm jackets are provided during your cruise.

Despite living in Dunedin for years this cruise has been on our 'to-do' list indefinitely. Our perception that it was an expensive tourism experience - wrong. After a foibled overseas experience we were looking to do something locally that we had never done before and the Wildlife Cruise was muted as a possibility. Loved every minute of it! Especially seeing the peninsula and Taiaroa head from a different angle and the albatross did not disappoint. The commentary was pleasant and knowledgeable; the wildlife was accommodating; the teenagers were entertained. Would 100% recommend for locals and tourists alike.

The captain was really clear and interesting so it was easy to understand and we got to see both fur-seals and 4 species of albatross. The crew was nice, friendly and helpful. We got to borrow a jacket for the weather and binoculars!

Der Service von den Angestellten war gut. Leider konnten wir keine Pinguine oder Seelöwen sehen. Dafür viele unterschiedliche Albatrosse.
